This. This is where we are. A place where parents provide beer to 17-year-olds…where 9th graders drink rum from coke cans during school, and kids take their first drink as young as 9 or 10. A place where alcohol tastes like lemonade, and doing 12 to 15 shots a night is commonplace.
How did it get so far away from how you and I remember it? How did casual beer drinking turn into a hard-hitting, no rules sport? Where did the line between having fun and getting blind drunk get blurred? And how did we unknowingly get swept along?
How did we land here? In this place.
